Emily in Paris: New Job, New Country… What Could Go Wrong?
Level: B2–C1
Type: TV series · Comedy-drama · Marketing · Workplace
Imagine this: you're offered a great job in Paris. The apartment is ready, your career is taking off and you're moving to one of the most exciting cities in the world.
There's just one small problem: you don't speak French.
That's where Emily's adventure begins.
Between awkward introductions, skeptical colleagues, demanding clients and plenty of cultural misunderstandings, Emily in Paris gives us some great situations to talk about work, communication and what happens when your brilliant idea doesn't get quite the reaction you expected.
We'll use these scenes to review useful vocabulary, pronunciation (IPA), tenses, conditionals and paraphrasing, but also something that's just as important at B2/C1: knowing how to say what you mean without sounding too direct.
How do you disagree with a colleague? Pitch an idea? Defend your point of view? Soften criticism? And what would you do if someone offered you a dream job abroad tomorrow?
Let's find out.
